Privacy Policy for MOVAI
Last Updated: February 16, 2026
1. Our Privacy Philosophy
MOVAI is built on a Privacy-by-Design architecture. We believe your health and fitness data belongs to you. Unlike traditional fitness apps, MOVAI stores your raw health and workout data locally on your device rather than on our servers. This ensures maximum privacy, security, and total user ownership.
2. Information We Collect
Because MOVAI is an "on-device first" app, we distinguish between data stored on your phone and data processed for AI functionality:
- On-Device Data: Your workout history, injury logs, and fatigue levels are stored exclusively in your device's secure enclave. MOVAI does not maintain a central database of this information.
- HealthKit Data: With your explicit permission, MOVAI reads data (e.g., sleep, steps, heart rate) from the Apple Health app. This data stays on your device and is used locally for insights.
- AI Interactions: When you use the MOVAI Companion for coaching, specific anonymized data points are processed to generate responses.
3. Third-Party AI Data Processing (Guideline 5.1.2i)
To provide personalized coaching and workout optimization, MOVAI utilizes third-party AI services. In compliance with Apple's privacy standards, we disclose the following:
- Third-Party Provider: We utilize OpenAI, LLC as our primary AI service provider.
- Data Shared: We only share the specific, anonymized categories you enable in the app. This includes:
- Activity: Daily step counts.
- Sleep: Total sleep duration.
- Nutrition: Macronutrient targets and daily logs.
- Fitness: Details of workouts planned or completed within MOVAI.
- Purpose of Sharing: Data is shared solely to enable the "MOVAI Companion" features, such as generating custom workout adjustments.
- Equal Data Protection: We confirm that OpenAI provides data protections equal to or greater than those outlined in this Privacy Policy.
- No Model Training: Under our professional API agreement, OpenAI does not use data transmitted from MOVAI to train their foundational AI models. Data is processed ephemerally and is not stored by the third party for their own purposes.
4. Consent and User Control
- Explicit Opt-In: No personal data is shared with any third-party AI until you have reviewed the AI Data Permissions screen and provided explicit, affirmative consent by tapping the "Enable AI Coaching" button.
- Granular Revocation: You can manage or revoke these permissions at any time within the app settings.
5. Data Security & Storage
- Local Storage: All your personal fitness and health data is stored locally on your iPhone. MOVAI does not store your health history on external servers.
- In-Transit Security: Any data sent to the AI companion is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.
- Anonymization: Data sent for AI processing is stripped of identifiers (name, email, etc.) before transmission to ensure your identity remains private.
6. Your Rights & Data Deletion
- Total User Control: Because your data is stored locally, MOVAI does not have access to your health database outside of the active app environment.
- Data Deletion: To delete all data associated with MOVAI, simply delete the app from your device. Once the app is uninstalled, all locally stored workout and health history is permanently removed from your device. Since we do not store your data on our servers, uninstallation effectively executes your "right to be forgotten."
7. Medical Disclaimer
MOVAI is not a medical device. The insights and AI coaching provided are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult a physician before starting a new exercise program.
